Congratulations To Me!

Monday, August 14, 2017


Last week, after eight months of (sometimes, emotionally-challenging) writing, I am pleased to announce that the first draft (first, mind you) of my manuscript has been completed.

Yahoo!

I am very proud of myself for accomplishing this goal.

It has been both a joy and a challenge to find the correct words to describe what I have felt, and what I feel in regards to the past 23 years of my life.

This first draft is for Me.  It is written with everything that I wanted and needed to write.

Revision will fine-tune, and possibly remove or alter, parts of the story.  And that is okay.

I now place the Editor's Cap on my head to make it readable for interested readers.  Hopefully there are readers out there who are interested to read what I have written!

I took last week off.  Did not write a single word, nor re-read my words.   Topped it all off with a fabulous 48 hours in the mountains (see above photograph!).

It is Monday morning, so back I go to the laptop to start revision and investigate how the publishing world works.

A two-week self-imposed deadline for the second draft.

Here I go.

Happy Monday, Everyone.
